    • Trivia
      Lesley Nightingale, who plays Sabina, appears fully frontally nude in a bedroom scene. She removes her robe, then stands totally nude and slowly walks towards her male co-star, who is sitting on the side of the bed. Then, as she stands before her co-star, the camera pans around and shows a closer view of her breasts.
    • Goofs
      When we see Magnus' father standing as a Liberal candidate at election, there are yellow party rosettes on display. At the time (in the 50s), the common party colour for the Liberal Party would have been green. Yellow only became common for the Liberals in the 1970s.
